Lester, Benjamin
- Abstract
The article argues for broadening the role of alternatives in assessing dangerous products under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) to end pesticide myopia. Topics discussed include pesticide risk assessment under FIFRA, history of NRDC v. EPA that led to the cancellation of tetrachlorvinphos pet collars, role of innovation in pesticides, consumer knowledge of products, and legal avenue to consider the presence of alternatives in registration and cancellations.
